Tributes paid to police dog handler and rugby league fan found dead at Leeds house

A police officer found dead at a property in Oulton on Sunday has been described as 'one in a million'.

PC Mick Atkinson, a dog handler with North Yorkshire Police, was discovered at the house by officers from West Yorkshire Police. The circumstances of his death are not thought to be suspicious and the case has been passed to the coroner.

Shaun Keating commented: "RIP Aky you'll never meet a happier, cheerful and big-hearted man than he was. Has left a huge hole that'll be impossible to fill for all those that knew him. One of the good guys who would be an ear for anyone who needed to talk. Rest easy big man and I'm sure you're with Max now."
